They switched McCain votes with Ron Paul. This much is clear.

Check the county results....All of the ones I have checked (page 37 of 52 atm) have ZERO % reporting so how the heck can there be 57% reporting?? Am i missing something? Perhaps CNN simply has not updated it? :confused:

I Anyone Realizing We Have Over 19%!?!? And We Beat Huckabee, Again?? Uh Oh>>> The Freedom Train Is Rolling Along...

And keep in mind that this is just the straw poll, which has no bearing whatsoever on the delegates. CGMike just reported that we won the most delegates in Portland, the biggest city in Maine (with at least 30 of the 59 delegates.) This is a huge accomplishment, and shows that we can not only win the most delegates in the smaller towns, but in the biggest cities in the state as well. Things are looking very encouraging.

So when will we find out how many delegates we actually get?

When the Huckster drops out most of his supporters will go with Ron Paul.. They are Christians and they won't go with the Morman Romney or the Warmonger McCain..

They are ours............

[Paul.Bearer.of.Injustice]

are those actual delegates or projected delegates?

If they support warmonger Huckabee, why won't they support warmonger McCain?

They are not ours. They are the other candidates.

The masses do not know of Ron Paul nor do they understand he's a Christian who lives it better than Huckabee in any case.

When Ron Paul gets regular exposure to the masses only then can you claim the voters for the candidates who drop-out may go to Ron Paul.

Currently it's not happening.

This wont be reported in the media, because all delegates are "officially uncommitted" and not bound to any candidate. However, we can of course unofficially know who is winning from first hand reports from caucuses, and so far things are, as I said, looking very encouraging. We will know "officially" how all the delegates will vote in early May when the state convention is held, and all the delegates vote their preference.

And Romney has 52% of straw vote.. IT DOES MATTER.

They will change the rules again for delegate voting and delegates will be required to vote first ballot for Romney.

Just wait and watch!!!!!!!!!!

It already looks as though they flipped McCain and Paul's votes.

I agree.

If my wife we not married to me and have been shown Ron Paul, she would have been sucked into Huckabee's camp because of her faith. Ron Paul is the natural alternative to Huckabee's evangelical base.

[Carole]

Like Louisiana they will suppress it.

[Carole]

There is no way I will believe that Romney just happened to get the required 51% yet again.

[ambiguousscion]

Would you stop the complaining already, we got 19% of the vote. Go shoot your dog if you want to be sad.

I wouldn't be too sure.

There is no required 51%. Please do not spread misinformation - the caucus rules state that all delegates are "officially uncommitted" and unbound to any candidate - they can vote however they wish in the State Convention in May, no matter if someone gets 51%, 70%, or even 100%. The delegates have full discretion to vote as they choose. By all accounts so far, we are leading in delegates thus far, and again, have won the most delegates in the biggest city in the state.

[DealzOnWheelz]

Yes as the above posted they are uncomitted in Louisiana however if someone gets 51% at the primary then they get all the delegates

Each state is different
